There are USB HDMI dongles which actually contain some graphics hardware (as opposed to MHL cables that use some passive or very simple part to switch on the MHL output on devices which have one). These are mostly designed for USB3 because USB2 has low bandwidth and the controller is very inefficient WRT amount of CPU time spent on amount of data transferred. That said, if you purchase such a dongle you can connect it to your phone so long as it has USB host capability (most do unless it is disabled in software). An example of such dongle is this a Dell 492-BBNU or Dell D3100 (the former very compact, the latter self-powered). Both are marketed as notebook USB docking solution. I do not know if the chipset in either of these docking solutions is supported by the kernel in Ubuntu Touch or Linux in general but many similar products exist and at least some are supported by in-kernel drivers. The last possible thing is to use an arbitrary networking protocol (Miracast, VNC, ....) for transferring the display data over network.
